Smarter decisions at the speed of physics
Smart and fast decision making is key when dealing with the onslaught of collisions at the LHC. At the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), the ATLAS and CMS experiments are expected to process detector data at rates corresponding to roughly a quarter of the 2025 global internet traffic. All in real time, as part of the

LHCb Collaboration discovers new proton-like particle
Composed of two charm quarks and one down quark, the doubly charmed particle is four times heavier than a proton

Machine learning to reveal more about LHC particle collisions
The CMS Collaboration demonstrates that machine learning can outperform traditional methods in the full reconstruction of particle collisions at the LHC

Groundbreaking CMS calorimeter for the High-Luminosity LHC
CMS has recently completed the first prototype slice of its innovative High-Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL), which will be the largest silicon-based detector ever built

Accelerator Report: A very busy technical stop ahead of Long Shutdown 3
This technical stop is particularly intense, being both shorter than usual, to maximise the limited time for physics, and very busy, to make essential preparations for LS3, which begins in June

First observation of single top quark production with W and Z bosons
This incredibly rare phenomenon, observed at the CMS experiment, can help probe the fundamental forces of nature

Preserving particle physics data
A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial

First-ever collisions of oxygen at the LHC
The Large Hadron Collider gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time. Oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon collisions are also on the menu of the next few days
